After landing and looting a chromed Sleepy Sound, my friend ‘C’ and I made our way towards the next zone. During this we were casually talking about life and catching up with each other, but was interrupted by the sound of nearby gun shots. We decided to push and third party the teams, since we were all loaded up on loot and hadn’t gotten into a real fight yet.

After a successful third party, we carried on with our conversation while healing until we were rudely interrupted by another team pushing us. During that fight two other teams also decided to push us and some how we managed to make it through all of that and push to the next zone before anyone else found us.

At this stage we were a little confused by everyone being so sweaty so early in the game, but we figured it was because we were on EU servers. We used a large bush as cover while we healed up, but then heard more gunfire in and around Coney Crossroads.

Since we were now low on heals, we decided to stay in the bush and see what kind of situation we were in. We tried to continue with our irl conversation, but were very distracted by all the action going on around us. At this point, it would be foolish for us to move as the only cover we had was the bush we were in.

Luckily we managed to get zone again meaning that we didn’t have to move, but something didn’t add up…

There was still a lot of gunfire and a lot of names were popping up on the kill feed, but the total number of people on the main screen was still pretty high.

While C kept an eye on our surroundings, I took a look at the map and the number of duos left and it said

10 people left and 3 squads…

I told C and they asked me to repeat myself.

“10 people, 3 squads… we aren’t playing duos, we’re in a squads match” which we both laughed at, but while we were laughing and discussing the situation, one of the squads had killed the other. So it was down to us, a duo, and the last remaining squad.

It was unusually quiet and I think we had both silently agreed that there was no way on Sappho’s planet that we were leaving the bush without at least seeing the position of the squad. The bush gave us an element of surprise, even more so if they didn’t know we were a duo.

We saw the squad run out of coney and fan out. Not far enough, in my opinion, to pick one or 2 of them off. We waited 3 of them had spotted and made their way towards our bush. As soon as one entered we started firing. I couldn’t see anything but numbers and green from the damage and leaves, but I saw that I did knock someone. Then I heard death bleeps from C, but kept firing wildly in, out and around the bush.
